Agree with above, i think folks expecting to get 3 or 4 of those highly rated guys were just hoping against hope. I expected to only get 1 with an off chance of 2...happy we're likely to get Storz and Cabrera....and i hope i dont eat those words.

Cabrera is an immediate right field replacement for Deichmann and Storz can DH and play 1b with huge power potential.

I agree on Cabrera and Storz if they make it. Getting Bryce Jordan back will be a power boost as well.

I'm really really excited about the possibility of where getting Cabrera and Storz fit.

Last December Baseball America had Storz ranked as #10 overall in the high school class and Cabrera about #53 if I'm not mistaken...so these are guys are just as highly ranked as the Enlow and Pearson crowd.

What I love about potentially holding onto these two is the power they'll bring. Cabrera with be a day one starter in RF and Storz is a guy who could possibly turn into a really really great 1B if they let him play defense. Mainieri won't be able to keep him on the bench his raw power is top 5 in this high school draft class.

Smith, Slaughter, Watson, Templet, Woley, Cabrera, Storz, Doolittle, Webre. That my friends is a very solid back to back class of position players.

You add those pieces behind Bryce Jordan, Beau Jordan, Reid, Duplantis, Coomes and there's not as many holes as people think there are in the lineup.

Cabrera is a hard worker too. Mlb scouts wanting him to improve his opposite field hitting so he worked on it from mid year and hit 3 oppo homers
